Totes Magotes*

So, as it turns out, Hurricane Sandy did not keep me from New York (and my hosts got their power back last weekend!), but instead that short Nor'easter and a freak snowstorm here (which actually hasn't stopped) made me stay put in snowy Canada. Sigh. Thankfully, the conference organizers allowed me to Skype in to still present my paper and, after the gods tried one last time to keep me silent, I finally got my ideas out into the world outside of my advisor's office. I feel like a real scholar now! 

Anyway, suffice to say, I should be in New York right now, and am imagining myself walking through the holiday shops in Bryant Park right now, wearing this jacket. The only thing that could ever make me regret buying my ArtLab Revolutionary Jacket is a hooded version of the same! Patricia, this is now in a tie with your Artisanal wool coat for my favorite piece from you ever.

And speaking of perfect jackets, check this beauty out. This is from my favorite Aussie label, Sadotna (photo via their Facebook). If I score another scholarship, I might just have to treat myself with this. But for now, it'll have to do to give it a place of honour in My Top 3 Want List (see sidebar, near bottom).

*I was supposed to see Paul Rudd in Grace tomorrow. Sigh. Patricia, enjoy the show for me!

Out, damned spot!

 

Though I know the Internets is/will be positively teeming with photos of brand new collections today (I myself am waiting to see some from the last day of Montreal's fashion week), I just stumbled upon these photos of Sadotna's current collection, even though they've been up since July. I wouldn't necessarily say being sick for an entire week is a good thing, but my inability to adequately sleep and my unwillingness to go insane has made me clock a lot more mileage on the ol' laptop. So, needless to say, it's nice to find something absolutely gorgeous to look at. My only wish is that someone could get a hold of Anne Hathaway's stylist and dress her in some Sadotna for the Oscars. And/or James Franco.

Sadotna

Ahh, a fresh cut and colour makes me feel like I've magically gained a healthy dose of je ne sais quoi. It also makes me want to don my very best outfit just because. And as I've let my clothes pile get quite out of order, it would make my life much easier to have one of these outfits by Sadotna sent to me tout de suite so that I wouldn't have to pick out something I already have. Can any of my readers in Melbourne help me out? It'll have to be before tomorrow at noon-ish though, as that is when the magic of my newly done hair will likely dissipate.
